I got some advice from an art teacher in highschool once that I've seen repeated quite a few times. When you're painting a tree, you don't paint each leaf; you maybe dab a bunch down at once, etc, to get the pattern down. Even off the page, it's not like you have to count up all a tree's leaves to see what the tree looks like. This, I suspect, is how you're currently getting over your fear of individuals when speaking to groups composed of them; you don't feel as looked-at when there are too many eyes to count. If the "looked-at" part is what you want elaboration on though, I guess I could give you Sartre's song and dance. Or you could just read Being and Nothingness.
